BaoFeng Antenna Stubby Antenna UHF 400-470MHz Two Way Radio Antenna Replacement Walkie Talkie Mini Antenna 1.77inch SMA Female for Kenwood Wouxun Baofeng BF-F8HP UV-5R UV-82 BF-888S(2 Pack)

Now it doesn't take a genius to know your rage will be limited But perfect for GMRS when you and your family will be within a mile of each other like on the farm or event and you don't have a pesky anntena constantly in the way. Buy a case for your hip and you'll forget the radio is there. Now I put on a larger anntena if I'm going to be at the other property about 3 miles away but for most situations where I'm on the bailer and kids in the rake and or tractors need to stay in contact.. Perfect.

Could not believe how far these stubies transmitted. I don't usually leave reviews but I think these work so well I had to.I am on gmrs and these are cut to gmrs frequency and not to a multi band frequency.I think that in its self makes these high efficiency antennas and at 3db.Buy it.

Worked good to replace the antenna

Works fine. Do the same as the original one. Good pricing

Stubby Antennas by nature do not have the range of even the stock/OEM antennas that most radios come with. That's OK because you are likely seeking a Stubby to reduce the footprint of your radio and no matter what you already know that means compromising signal/distance, right? Now that we're on the same page, I was shocked at how well these stubby antennas worked FOR GMRS FREQUENCIES in real world versus about a dozen other brands of stubby antennas I've tried. These went head to head with other stubbys in a range test. Same radios, same locations, same day. These were getting/receiving when other stubbys, even much more expensive ones were not. They went against stubbys of 2.5inches or less. I imagine there are some stubbys of 2.5 inches or less that outperform these but as far as the amazon stubby category goes, I dont think you'll fine a better value to performance ratio.

The antenna for my security radio works great. A very good product. I recommend it.

Ordered these for replacing the longer attenaes for snow skiing to make it easier to wear attached to back pack straps. However the range and reception was weaker than we expected. We have went back to the original longer ones that came with the units.

Great for walkie type radios like the Bao BF-888S. Radio and antenna will just stash in your pocket. We use them as spotter radios off-roading where you don’t need the distance. On my Tid TD-H8 at 5w I can ping a repeater 10 miles away. The repeater will respond but I can’t listen to any conversation without Sq at about 1 with a lot of static. These antennas aren’t meant for range, they’re meant to turn your GMRS/HAM HT into a close range walkie talkie. And for that they work great!
